FEELING THEIR WAY

PRAYER PAUSE

FEELING THEIR WAY


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “That all nations might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him.” (Acts 17).  



Reflection. Paul is in Athens with its long tradition of learning and he respects their research by pushing on its boundaries to include their search for God. They are with him for a while but baulk at mention of the resurrection of Jesus. They could only go with him so far. Many today are not satisfied with traditional Church teaching. They are searching. We all are. And now the search is for the risen Lord, for an experience of what it is to say with Thomas, “My God.” It goes beyond words and teachings and nothing less will satisfy our hungry hearts.


Prayer. Lord, help us to know you and love you deep in our hearts. Amen.
